The first thrust area focuses on developing a comprehensive Digital Twin Framework that is maintainable, extensible, and reusable both within and across domains. This framework must incorporate existing solutions while supporting inheritance, generalization, and interoperability to enable exploration into new application areas.
The second thrust area examines practical applications of Digital Twins, including specific use cases such as system reconfiguration, data aggregation, and human-system interaction scenarios.
The third thrust area addresses the critical need for specialized software tools and skilled personnel to successfully deploy Digital Twin technology and realize its transformative potential across industries.
